Thanks very much Comberton - very helpful.

Thanks again Comberton for your help.

I purchased the passenger list information and it is indeed the family.

My father believes that my Great Uncle worked as a civil servant in Singapore for a year or so, and that he returned in 1958 (he recalls meeting him in Plymouth with the 3 children).

Do you know how I could try to trace their return back from Singapore?

Thanks

Have you looked at the Singapore library's online digitised newspapers?

[Drobs]

Hi Forfarian - I haven't heard of this but will Google search and see if this identifies anything.
Thank you

They could have flown home

Hi - maybe although my father remembers meeting them when they returned in 1958 and he thought they came home by ship
